Philadelphias Wittiest Man
Philadelphia llccord
The wittiest man said the antiquary
hat ever lived in Philadelphia Tho
subject of this praise was the noted Judge
Peters whoso residence still stands uuder
the namo of Belmont mansion In the park
Judge Tctcrs the antiquary went on
was a great punster Even to the last
When his health hnd fallen very low he
attended the Fourth of July dinner of
the Boclety of the Cincinnati The year
1 think was 1S28 Judge Peters was ciy
feeble Bo had to ba helped In and when
ho made his address he kept his seat be
Jng too wenk to stand But It was a brll
ttnnt address most brilliant At Its con
clusion ho rose and departed leaning on
two servants ouo white and the other
colored I now bid you oil farewell ho
said smiling as ho paused and turned at
> So doorway It Is my last farewell and
yon will notice that It la In black and
white He tapped his helpers and they
led him away That was his laat appear
ance In public A little while later ho
Was dead
Pretty Girls Slowest to Marry
Philadelphia Itecord
Beautiful girls aro slower to marry
than thoso of only average appearance
said un observant bachelor I knew in
my prime two of the fairest creatures that
were ever made two tall slim glrja with
dnrk hnlr and eyes and I thought they
would each capture millionaires but they
still remain single It has been like this
with every mans experience I fancy
Every man has noted that vory beautiful
girls nro slow to marry For tho fact
there arc I think two reasons One Is
tlio girls disposition She Is apt to be
hliughty selfish spoiled by all the adula
Hon that la hera The other Is the mena
fear A man you see la n llttlo afraid
to marry a very beautiful woman for ho
knows that sho will always be sued and
courted and ho fears that sho will be
won away from him Man Is modest oud
with a wife so beautiful he doubts whether
hW charm will piove strong enough to
hold her constant through all the years
